The coexistence curve and surface tension of a monatomic water model

We study the monatomic water model of Molinero and Moore the grand canonical ensemble Monte Carlo simulation. Measurements of the probability distribution of the number density obtained via multicanonical sampling and histogram reweighting provide accurate estimates of the temperature dependence of both the liquid-vapor coexistence densities and the surface tension. Using finite-size scaling methods, we locate the liquid-vapor critical point at T-c = 917.6 K, rho(c) = 0.311 g cm(-3). When plotted in scaled variables, in order to test the law of corresponding states, the coexistence curve of monatomic water is close to that of real water. In this respect, it performs better than extended simple point charge (SPC/E), TIP4P, and TIP4P/2005 water.& nbsp;(C) 2022 Author(s).All article content, except where otherwise noted, is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY)license (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/).
